Exploring Mars

通过一个互动的科学节目，将主持人主导的演示与火星表面的3D视频飞行相结合，我们将向观众展示太空探索是一个令人兴奋的当前科学领域，英国是该领域的重要合作伙伴。行星科学本质上是跨学科的，涉及所有STEM学科。该项目旨在鼓励学生建立这些联系，并在不同的关键阶段与核心课程科学联系起来。该项目将通过利用STFC资助的研究来促进英国对行星科学的贡献。这将包括过去和现在的轨道和火星车任务的结果，以及展望未来的任务，如外部火星漫游者和外部火星微量气体轨道器。我们将鼓励学生考虑进入STEM工作，特别是将火星探索作为当前和未来科学技术挑战的鼓舞人心的主题。我们还将收集一系列课堂资源，基于来自Esero-UK、ESA和NASA的现有材料的更新，以及项目团队的一些新内容。我们将把MARS资源纳入现有的中小学教师培训CPD计划(Space Make Simple，Esero-UK)。

Through an interactive science show which combines presenter-led demonstrations with 3D video fly-throughs of the Martian surface, we will show audiences that space exploration is an exciting and current scientific field in which the UK is a significant partner. Planetary science is by nature interdisciplinary, drawing on all STEM subjects. This project aims to encourage students to make these links, and to connect with core-curriculum science at the various key stages.The project will promote UK contributions to planetary science by drawing on STFC-funded research. This will include results from past and current orbital and rover missions, as well as looking at future missions such as ExoMars Rover and ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter. We will inspire students to consider careers in STEM, in particular by using Mars exploration as an inspirational theme for current and future challenges in science and technology. We will also gather together a series of classroom resources, based on a combination of updating existing materials from ESERO-UK, ESA and NASA, with some newly produced content from the project team.We will incorporate Mars resources into existing primary and secondary teacher training CPD programmes (Space Made Simple, ESERO-UK).
